✦ Synopsis
A new concept for an osmosis power generation system is presented. While the power production of a conventional system is based on continuous, increasing volumetric #ow of solution directed to a turbine, the new concept is based on the pressurizing of #uids by osmosis. Two di!erent new concepts were studied. In the "rst case, the osmotic module consists of the osmotic membranes, fresh water and solution. In the second case, gas is included in the solution part of the module. Consequently, the new system without gas was found to result in more than 2.5 times higher power values than the conventional concept.

## Abstract A new wavelength conversion method using an SOA‐loop‐mirror for NRZ optical data has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A conventional wavelength converter with a nonlinear fiber‐loop‐mirror can perform RZ‐to‐RZ, NRZ‐to‐RZ, or RZ‐to‐NRZ data format conversion, while NRZ‐to‐N
